Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 3)

[silentassassin1]

I use simple car wash shampoo from Carpro. Sometime maguire wash and wax. Never ever use a "kapra" or even a best quality microfiber drying cloth. Just dry by compressed air. No dry dusting. I think in past one year I used three time a spary on quick detailer spray. Just don't get time for ceramic coating although it's ready and in my garage ..

Make sure the coating does not freezes in US winters.

If you want nice long scratches on your car, a squeegee is the perfect thing to get. Yes, it will clear water off in a few swift motions but imagine those lines you will end up with if a particle is embedded between the blade and paint. There was a guy who uploaded a video of him and his father washing their 458 after a car show using a sponge to wash it, using the same sponge to wash his wheels and then reusing the same sponge to give one final wash on the paintwork. After rinsing the car, he used a squeegee to dry the car. He then put up that video on DetailingAddicts. The video was deleted in the next 10 minutes by the poster after he read the replies from the members of that group. Everything in that video was done wrong. So a SPONGE and a SQUEEGEE are two big NO NO's when it comes to washing and drying your car.

The sad part was, there was a nice Jaguar XJ220S in the background. Pretty sure that poor car was being treated in the same way.

Thanks a lot for advice sir. So i should stick to the good'ol microfiber towel for drying.

My process is as under. please point out mistakes, if any:

1) application of shampoo with megiuires wash mit.
2) drying from large 2 X 2 microfiber towel.
3) wax off with a small microfiber towel. Car is in black color.

Moreover do we have any small portable type air compressors in pakistan to use for drying,

Check for:

1. Mike Philips videos on YouTube. He works for AutoGeek.net and does a lot of training stuff,

2. NYC Ammo videos as well. Larry is an excellent professional detailer and does detailed videos explaining various tricks and techniques.

If you watch these videos, you dont need anything else.
